Northstar California Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Northstar California Golf Course has a unique layout that was seamlessly integrated with the rugged, wooded terrain of Tahoe. The front nine plays through a scenic, rolling valley while the back nine plays through the towering pines of the forest. The first nine holes have a classic links layout and the back nine demands precision with its tree-lined fairways and small greens. Native vegetation and scenic water hazards are scattered throughout the golf course. Strategically placed sand bunkers add another challenging element. The signature hole at Northstar California Golf Course is the par-3 15th, which requires a shot over a creek to a small green.

Call Ahead to ask about course conditions
They had a grasshopper infestation and it was extremely bad and there was no warning on their website, etc.
Bad course, full of grasshoppers.
Front nine is horrible. Thousands of grasshoppers everywhere. They have ruined most fairways and greens. They fly up as you drive the cart. Back nine is great. Do not play this course until the grasshoppers are gone.
2 different courses in one
The front 9 is on a flat open area and the back 9 is in a tight hilly forest like area. Lots of fun!
Like the course but…grass hopper problem.
We really liked the course but unfortunately there is a grass hopper infestation on the front nine. We were forewarned but I think the regular rate should have been discounted. The play on the front nine in those conditions was absolutely terrible and worse than we anticipated when we went out.
Grasshoppers Everywhere
Front 9 is inundated with millions of grasshoppers & course us very dry. & I mean millions!! Impossible to putt. Rate needs to be reduced when Like this!!
Grasshoppers!
Course is normally super fun, great staff, layout and pace of play. There’s a grasshopper issue and it makes the front 9 almost completely impossible to play. Wish we knew!
Great Staff
The staff was great. Their starter helped pair with another group.to make the pace of play balanced. The course conditions are much better than last year.
Disgusting
Ridiculous flying crickets the entire front nine. Thousands of them. The course should have informed players and offered deep discounts
Bar didn’t open till 8 snack bar didn’t open till 10. They don’t accept anything but credit card too. It was a layout you’d enjoy the 2nd time out.
Pleasant surprise
Been a hour away for ten years. Never played here because of bad reviews. I seen the last review and it stated don’t listen to old reviews the course is nice now. So I decided to try it out. Come to find out they have a new director of golf and have hired more maintenance staff. Really enjoyed playing. Course was in good shape. Front 9 open links and back 9 in the pines. I’ll definitely be back.
Great course, reviews are old and wrong
Played the course first time, will go back for sure. Course is pretty and front 9 in the valley and open. and back 9 is through trees and tight. Both are totally different and challenging. Course was in good shape.
Beautiful setting
Rough too long for resort course. Sometimes lost a ball 3 feet off fairway. Greens okay. Back 9 is a completely different course from front. Target golf on the back with a lot of elevation change. Fun course if you don’t care too much about score
